INDIANAPOLIS – Members of Houston Stellar 16 Elite’s volleyball team like being considered an underdog. That way they can unleash a good old-fashioned Texas attack on anyone that gets in their way.

Seeded third in its pool at the start of the four-day, 36-team tournament and not in the top 10 seeds overall, Stellar ran roughshod over all 11 of its opponents in taking gold Saturday in the 16 USA division of the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships at the Indiana Convention Center.
